Blocks should not be used to book job appointments with customers, but only to block a period of internal use (ex: training, holiday, vacations, etc...). 


Benefits of a block :

  • It's just a perfect text area to put a note. There is no link to a customer or vehicle.
  • Allows you to block a period for vacation, training, private time, etc...
  • Allows you to block a period for one or multiple bays/technicians (e.g.: for inventory management).

Limitations of a block :

  • Does not allow booking of job appointments for customers : no estimate, no phone, no vehicle, no customer information.
  • Once created, a block cannot be moved or duplicated, it has to be deleted and recreated.
